Abstract

Advancements in the utilization of computers in architectural design have opened new horizons in how design is approached. Not only have they enabled us to discover new types of design, but they have also helped us find optimal solutions.The evolution in the application of such techniques can been divided into three phases. First, architects used computational tools to discover interesting shapes. Second, architects started to use the computer as an apparatus to make more logical decisions within the design process. Lastly, architects are now designing the decision-making process itself to fully utilize the potential of computers. Each of these design paradigms has been strongly affected by engineering and computer science while slowly adapting to practice, discovering novel designs, or reducing time in optimizing models. However, such methods still have certain limitations in terms of intuitiveness in processing design requirements or designers’ intent. Now we are entering a new phase of evolution where architects and computer scientists are working to implement artificial intelligence to help reduce the gaps between the tool and designers.
